Apple Plans Multi-Day Product Launch Event Featuring iPhone 17e and Budget MacBook

Apple is set to hold its first major product showcase of 2026 from March 2 to March 4, culminating in a 'Special Apple Experience' with hands-on sessions in New York, London, and Shanghai. Expected launches include the iPhone 17e, a budget MacBook possibly featuring the A18 Pro chip and a smaller display, refreshed iPad Air and entry-level iPad models, and updates to MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. The event marks a shift from traditional keynotes to a staggered, multi-day rollout without a livestream.
